UPCOMING Parshat Noach By: Rabbi Landsman
EVENTS Parshat Noach begins with a description of the decadent and corrupt society that was
Candle Lighting: 6:01 ultimately destroyed by the flood. The sins of theft and illicit relations are singled out as the
primary cause of the world’s destruction. It is not coincidental that these two transgressions were
Havdallah: 6:59 simultaneously prevalent in society at the time. The underlying cause of each of these sins is
identical.
According to Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva University, the sin of theft
Tuesday, October 16 stems from a basic flaw in our relationships with one another. Individuals should be giving,
Grade 8
seeking out opportunities to perform acts of chessed; conversely, one can become dependent on
HS Entrance Exam others, seeking out opportunities to take. Those who are accustomed to taking, may eventually
become the ultimate takers, ‘thieves’, whose need to take knows no bounds. The ultimate
General Studies protection against sinking to the level of actual robbery is to perfect the attribute of ‘giving’ as
SEFER TORAH opposed to ‘taking’.
PROGRAM The family setting provided the perfect opportunity to become a giving person. Marriage
can only flourish if both partners constantly give to one another. Raising children is a lifetime
Wednesday, October 17 opportunity to give.
SEFER TORAH The generation of Noach had sunk to the depths of immorality and corruption. The
source of all evil engulfing the society in which Noach found himself was the inability to give to
PROGRAM others. One who takes, but does not give back is so self-centered that the needs of others are
Tuesday, October 30 completely excluded. The sins of theft and moral depravity are the eventual outgrowth of such a
Grade 8 Parents High character flaw.
School Night 8:00 PM
Hashem singles Noach out to survive the flood and begin civilization again. The most
critical lesson Noach and his children must impart to all future generations is the significance of
giving to others.
To reinforce this lesson among Noach and his family, Hashem devises a plan in which
Sunday, November 4 the animal world would be saved. Noach and his family members would be responsible for caring
for all of the animals in the teivah for almost an entire year. Hashem could have saved the
Preschool Open animals through many means, yet this method was chosen in order to grant Noach the
House opportunity to perfect the trait of giving, preparing him to instill this most critical trait in his

descendants.
The lesson of giving would be transmitted through the descendants of Shem, and
ultimately be exemplified in the personality of the “the man of giving,” Avraham Avinu.
Shabbat Shalom!

Parshat Noach Comes Alive
This past week, some of the animals from Noach’s Teivah visited the YCQ yard.
Children in grades N-3 participated in many activities. The students were greeted
by Noach himself and received food to feed a llama, sheep, goats, and rabbits. The
students witnessed an underground fish tank and even participated in Parsha trivia
with a talking Moose. The students concluded the program by engaging in several
carnival styled games associated with Parshat Noach. Everyone had an amazing time
and had a chance to experience Parshat Noach up close and personal.
